I have nothing to add to your opinions or better said i can not disagree.
Until they fixed the three major problems, that keep me personal from playing this game at the moment i don't start it again unless a friend asks me to help ingame with something where i do not collide with these three problems.
No. 1 - and most important to me, because with it this game stands and falls to me:
Wheelsupport - Yeah i drove a little bit with my old xbox-controller and it was a better feeling to me than driving with the same pad in The Crew. But what do i know about driving with controller. It's something i usually not do, because i can't enjoy the driving with it. It's just not the same as with a wheel to me. But maybe my personal approach is too high in this case. I don't know.
No. 2 - the ginding - I never liked senseless grinding, in fact i hate it. That's why i unlocked all needed performanceparts in TC1 and afterwards i only bought them to upgrade my cars. And everyone who says the grinding in TC2 is less than in TC1 is damn wrong. It might have been the case compared to the times when they introduced the "smart loot system" with Wild Run, but by the time and years it got more userfriendly again.
I remember at the beginning of this year i tested it again, when we had one of our community-challenges here and i decided to drive with my seconds profile. There i needed to upgrade a couple of cars (e. g. Monstertrucks). I did that with a simple jumpskill in around 15 minutes (749 to 1497).
And now i need around 5 to 10 hours to upgrade a streetcar to around 280 and still have only useless greenparts and nearly zero chance to get the good pink parts. In fact i can confirm what Luny motivated to start the thread in the official forum. On saturday i did around 10 races, while i tried again to get some at least driveable wheelsettings. During those 10 races i got only parts that were lower than i got in my most upgraded streetcar - frustration pure. And when i hear that even players who already reached around 200 icon-levels more than me (and have way more perks set for better loot) have the same problem, it demotivates me even more to try again.
No. 3 - the halfbaked stickershop - Yeah you can do some stuff with it, but being really creative is not possible. I planned on spending the time i do not drive at the moment in the stickershop and produce a lot of paintjobs for myself, our club, our friends and the hole community until i they fix the points above. But nope...we can paint a dozen cars out of 200 until we reach the limit. And on top of that we don't even have enough layers to be creative on one car
and you do not even earn a dime by sharing the paintjobs. So i do not even start with this, to prevent another deep demotivation.
Beside that you can not really do that much in the game anyway. In fact, if you are ambitious and take it on, you can finish the hole campaigne in less than two days. But thats just a footnote to me and i could arguably live with that, if i would be able to drive like i'm usually able to. I would spend hours and hours to hunt some records or just go for a smooth cruise with my friends...but enough, before i never stop writing.
...what did Madman wrote above? "Rants are great for stress relief management" ...confirmed!
